Thrifty Things Friday Party #6

Hi everyone!

(I am posting early today because we are heading home from the campground and generally after the road trip and hauling everything into the house, I just want to crash. So, instead of forgetting to post, I am doing it early)

Today’s thrifty finds were from a couple of yard sales, a thrift store, a flea market and an antique store. I already showed a couple of items earlier this week from our thrifting adventure while camping this past weekend. But, I have a few more things to show.

Within a couple of blocks of the festival, I was able to hit a couple of yard sales. I main goal was to find a cheap summer wardrobe for the Princess. I wanted things to leave at our trailer so I didn’t have to keep hauling clothes back and forth from home to the campground.

I got lucky at one yard sale. Lots of little girl size 4T summer clothes and only a dime for each item! There are 4 more pieces of clothes. They are in the wash right now.Yay!

And since the princess is into anything that twirls, I just had to pick up this little ballerina skirt for .50 cents.

My mom bought the princess this little tea set from the thrift store. She loves it!

At another yard sale, I got this pretty white eyelet table runner and matching smaller piece. Both pieces for .10 cents!

At the thrift store, I got this pretty floral sheet. I think it will make a pretty summer tablecloth or patio cushion covers! It was $1.25.

At the outdoor flea market I got this cute (doesn’t look like it was used at all) purse and a set of vintage sugar and creamer.

The purse was .25 cents and the the creamer and sugar set was .15 cents!

I love he black and white check inside the purse.

At the antique store I got these pretty things.

This set of Royal Doulton plates will become a tiered serving dish. Not bad for .50 cents for the two pieces.

I have a dinner plate for both of these next dishes already. So, these two will also become tiered serving dishes. All three of the tiered set will be for sale at our next festival. Each were .50 cents.

And I got two more crystal open salts for $1.00 each. They aren’t the same but, I have 6 already and want a set of 12. So, I am always looking for thrifted salts.

Besides the things I showed on my tea post Tuesday (teapot, teacup, magazines and book) I also picked up 2 shirts and 2 pairs of shorts for me (.50 cents each item) and I also bought a large garbage bag of packing peanuts for .25 cents. I am always looking for those and hate to pay for them at Office Depot!

Those were my thrift finds for the week. What did you find?

Let’s check out this weeks featured bloggers from last week’s TTF!

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Oh no!, Diann is going “party” crazy!

I have had several people ask me in the past to have a “Thrifty Tablescaping party”. Since all of my tablescapes consist of thrifty finds, I thought why not! But, until I see how well it is received, I am going to host this party on the first Saturday of each month.

So, the first “Thrifty Tablescape Party” will be on June 4!

Okay, so, start looking in yard sales, craigslist, thrift stores, flea markets, you name it for some new to you tableware and accessories.

REMEMBER, the whole point of this party is to use and show off your awesome THRIFTED things! Get creative and have fun with it!

I would appreciate it if you c/p this little party button to your sidebar and/or just help spread the word about this party! Thanks everyone!

Diane what wonderful finds!! I have to tell you I am jealous of your prices. I have those same white eyelet lines but I paid 1.00 for three pieces!!Also, that ivory dinner plate with the roses. I have a whole 10 piece set of those with cups and saucers!! Actually I owned a whole set years ago, my mother in law bought us, that was in my first marriage! I did not like them ,cause I was 18 years old, so I got rid of them. When I got older and started appreciating pretty dishes, I wished I had kept them.I was shopping at Good Will one day and I found the set I have today!

Whoa- major bargains here! Love the eyelet runner and all those plates. I never see anything priced less than a quarter, ever! And the Kate Spade purse for 25 cents? Unheard of! Thanks for hosting! ~ Sue

Diann, I have decided that there is something about you that makes sellers run mark down their goodies when they see you coming! I cannot believe what great deals you got on all of these treasures! I bet the Princess will be spinning around in that skirt all day long. the prices on those pieces of china were just amazing! You may have already shared this on your blog, but I don't remember. What kind of glue do you use on your china pieces? Great purse too. The thrifted tablescape party sounds like fun. Now, I just have to remember it! Thank you for hosting. laurie

Great bargains, Diann! What great prices on the clothes. My son has 4 little ones, but the last 3 are boys, so they just pass it down.I had saved a pair of Osh Gosh overalls from when he was little, they were still in great shape! DIL emailed a pic of the 5 yo in them! I don't think the ones made today would last though!Love the eyelet runner too!

Oh WOW, I want to go thrifting with you! You always find the cutest things! My little grand daughter would go nuts over the tea set.Love the eyelet runner and the dishes.Thanks for hosting and get some rest!

Don't you love this time of year? You can buy an entire wardrobe for a couple of bucks. You'll never find a thrift store seeling clothes for a dime. I am amazed at your flea market finds and such great prices!

As always you have found some awesome deals. I truly think you are the best thrifty shopper I know. Love that you found all those clothes so cheap and those plates will make great serving stands. I am excited you are going to do the the thrifty tablescaping party!! Yippee....I will add it to my sidebar and join you on June 4th! hugs, Linda
